Helsinki Open Waves (HOW)
A translingual non-profit, community art platform that provides rent-free space and tools for all languages where people can create for themselves, and represent themselves with their own languages and cultures in order to contribute to a more diverse society without borders. Within this platform, we explore, rethink, and reimagine new ways for a translingual society to challenge the hegemony of monolingualism.
